PRO PS to PDF/A

Is your production operation creating customer-focused documents using PostScript? Are you under regulatory fiat on how they need to be archived and retrieved? If so, you’re facing technological, legal and regulatory problems dealing with how to store and retrieve these documents long term. Crawford Technologies’ PRO PS to PDF/A provides a solution to your problems.

Crawford Technologies now offers PRO PS to PDF/A, a cost-effective, multi-platform that takes your production PostScript print streams and produces PDF/A-1b output ready to archive. PRO PS to PDF/A:

• Converts your production PostScript print streams to archive-ready PDF/A
• Creates PDF/A-1b output
• Works on a wide variety of platforms including Windows, Solaris, HP-UX and Linux
• Indexes the PDF/A files and creates an external index for archive load

PRO PS to PDF/A:

• Provides superior font management: it maps bitmap fonts to PDF Type 1 fonts. Custom fonts are automatically converted to PDF Type 3 fonts.
• Uses PDF/A overlays to emulate pre-printed form stock. This makes the creation of watermarks easy, allowing the full power of PDF/A to be utilized within legacy applications. This approach can be used to add full color graphics and Terms and Conditions pages.
• Uses object-to-object PostScript to PDF/A transformation rather than object-to-bitmap transforms. This approach produces PDF/A files optimized for archiving.
• Bookmarks any data in the print file which automatically organizes it into multiple levels for easy navigation within the document.
• Lets you set up index rules to create external indices on multiple criteria

The PRO PS to PDF/A transform has all the capabilities of the PRO PS to PDF transform (PDF v. 1.4) allowed under the PDF/A-1b standard.
